Abstract: A resin layer having an improved durability may be obtained by curing a photocurable resin composition, including: (A) a polyfunctional urethane-modified polyester (meth)acrylate comprising a polyester oligomer and a plurality of (meth)acryloyl groups bonded to the polyester oligomer via a urethane group, and having a number-average molecular weight of at least 700, (B) a polyfunctional (meth)acrylate having a number-average molecular weight of less than 700, (C) a monofunctional (meth)acrylate, and (D) a photopolymerization initiator. The cured resin layer shows a Young's modulus which shows a small temperature-dependence, and reduces the possibility of peeling of an optional overcoating layer formed thereon.

Abstract: An optical absorption analyzer for determining the concentration of low concentration components of a sample gas. Inexpensive voltage to frequency converters, up/down counters, and integrators are used to obtain a high accuracy determination which is independent of fluctuations in the strength of the light source used in the analyzer.

Abstract: A gas analyzer includes a first conduit for the supply of gas to be tested, a second conduit for the supply of a standard gas, first and second cells, a light source for directing light rays through the first and second cells, and a detector for receiving the light rays after passing through the cells. There is provided a gas flow change-over device connected to the first and second conduits for alternating at fixed intervals between a first gas supply arrangement wherein fixed amounts of gas to be tested and the standard gas are simultaneously supplied to the first and second cells, respectively, and a second gas supply arrangement wherein the fixed amounts of the gas to be tested and the standard gas are simultaneously supplied to the second and first cells, respectively.

Abstract: An opto-acoustic gas analyzer has a black body light source, a chopper in the path of the light emitted from the light source for intermittently intercepting the light from the light source, a positive interference filter in the path of the light for filtering out light other than the wavelengths of light absorbed by the gas being analyzed, and an opto-acoustic detector which receives the filtered light and through which the gas to be analyzed is passed. A pressure change detector provided is provided in the opto-acoustic detector for detecting pressure changes in the gas and producing an electric signal corresponding such changes.

Abstract: A combined motor and rotational cell for use in an apparatus for measuring components in a gas colorimeter, smoke meter, etc. by utilizing light absorption or fluorescence. The combined motor and rotational cell has a motor with a plurality of magnetic poles around the periphery of thereof, at least one diametrically extending partition wall extending across the hollow interior for defining at least two compartments in the rotor, and optically transparent windows on the outside of the motor closing the compartments. A plate-shaped chopper is provided on one side of the rotor having a plurality of apertures therein equidistantly spaced around the chopper. A casing surrounds the rotor and supports the rotor shaft in bearings and has a plurality of coils around the inside of the peripheral wall opposed to the magnetic poles on the rotor. Apertures are provided in the opposite end walls of the casing aligned with the compartments in the rotor for passing light through the casing and the rotor.
